'Iron' Boy has won a close fight via SD.
Details to follow.
I'm wrong again. :'(
Ivan Calderon moved up to the 108lb division to dethrone mini-flyweight champion Hugo Cazares via twelve round split decision on Saturday night at the Coliseo Ruben Rodriguez in Bayamon, Puerto Rico. For the first seven rounds hometown favorite Calderon put on a boxing clinic, landing clean shots while avoiding Cazares' punches. Cazares finally got to Calderon and dropped him in round eight. Calderon spent round nine holding and running, but frustrated the attacks of Cazares over the last few rounds to win by scores of 115-112, 115-112 on two cards. Cazares was ahead 116-111 on the third card.

Hometown decision?
Rematch?
There should be a rematch. The win is definitely not convincing.
I gotta say I'm a bit surprised Cazares didn't finish him off, Cazares is one of the best finishers he punches well with both hands. I guess Calderon did a really good job holding on and running around. As I had predicted a Cazares stoppage 8th round and that's the round he dropped him in.
I will save any comments on the fight until I have seen it myself.
really hard for me chose the winner before the fight
and afta fight

Yup,Ive read 3 reports,all had it for Calderon 115-113. Ivan was actually outfighting Cazares until he got caught. Definitely not a hometown decision although there could be a rematch and I don't think anyone would complain as it was such an awesome fight. Calderon should most certainly be p4p top 15 now for sure. He could have ran for the whole fight but he didn't,he out on a masterclass.Quote:

CC for the pics mick
Whatever judge that just cost me 14 points for being an idiot needs to blacklisted.
No way home town decision!!! I watched this fight and I'm sorry for those who missed it. Calderon started the fight with clean shots and you could see the frustration Cazares had. And, it was not Calderon just running, he was moving around Cazares and connecting clean shots. Until... he tried to stop in front of a 130 pounds fighter and was badly hurt, being dropped to the canvas in the 8 and surviving the 9. In the 10th Calderon looked totally recovered and in the 12 the only thing Cazares didn't do was to take a baseball bat to KO Calderon. What a great heart Calderon showed... :appl:Quote:

CC for the run down PRP,I'm going to watch the fight later today and I cannot wait! Was it really exciting? I'm so glad that Calderon didn't just "run" and actually landed some good shots on the bigger,stronger man.
A very MAsterful display of greatnes in Calderon. HE gave Cazares a clinic it was a clear UD not that close. I will try to put it in Youtube.
It was beautiful everytime Hugo Cazares missed a punch the crowd when "OOOOLEEEEEEE" like bull fighting.
Rounds 1 to 7, 10 , 11 and maybe 12 are Calderon's and Rounds 8 KD, 9 ( Calderon cruised a la cotto) and maybe 12 are Cazare's  but you will be the judge once you see it.
PS. The fight before tha main even was as well a great great fight.
Good pics Mick let me add some more

I told you to have faith bro! Although not even I knew Ivan would show such heart. Long reigning champ with good resume moves up to fight the champ who is 6 inches taller and looks 2 times bigger and wins. And he won without resorting to running. He boxed beautifully. Bro,did you see the undercard? I heard there was a war but I cannot remember the 2 fighters names! Was it good?Quote:

"Azuquita" showed a lot of heart, but Martinez was relentless... pressing the action and with a powerful right hand. I thought the ref stopped it at the right time.Quote:

Nice. Still haven't seen it but sounds from most people like the right decision. Always had faith in Ivan, even after those pictures with Ivan looking like a 105 pounder and Cazares looking like a featherweight.
Was the Jimenez that lost the same guy that beat Vicente Escobedo? Would check boxrec but for some reason it keeps freezing everytime I try to look it up. Gonna try to download that too.
That's exactly 'Azuquita' Jimenez who beat 'Chente' Escobedo that's why I predicted he would win cause he's looked solid prior to the Escobedo fight and he's looked solid since and better since then.Quote:
